Tivo wrote a letter to the FCC explaining their tru2way hardware. I already said what it does and will say it again. The Series 4 tivo will likely have tru2way. It won't be an updated series 3 since it would need special hardware. It would have 2 modes. A Tivo mode and a Cable Mode. Tivo mode would be able to record your shows with the same tivo interface we all know and love. Tivo mode will be able to record SDV. So yes it will have the proper SDV hardware built in. Thats the only 2 way communication service that tivo mode supports. Then you have Cable/tru2way mode that will have your cableco's guide for their 2 way interactive services like VOD, and PPV. Also other features include Games, pay your own bill, remote setup, or anything else that needs it. Tivo hasn't confirmed that it will be the series 4 but it would likely be the series 4.
